Chapter 2676

"Hey!" Gu Tao stood behind Zhou Andong's chair and patted his shoulder: "Brother-in-law, even when we brag, we need some basis. The Qu family isn't something just anyone can push around."

Zhou Andong smiled slightly. In his previous life, the nationwide sensation caused by the aconite poisoning case actually involved two hospital visits for treatment before the victim fell into a coma from severe poisoning, though the poisoning symptoms were mild and no cause was found.

Earlier, he had Tang Lin assign people to monitor that Princess of the Qu family, and now he probably had results. If such evidence were in someone else's hands, it would truly be useless. Even if useful, its usefulness wouldn't be great.

After all, the Qu family's position is there to see, backed not only by the Yin family but also by many disciples and former officials of that old thing of the Qu family, plus many who hold dominant positions in scientific research.

So, in his previous life, the aconite poisoning case caused a nationwide sensation, and despite the case being very clear, they still let the Qu family princess get away scot-free, later fleeing abroad and changing her name.

But as long as he holds the poisoning evidence in his hand, he can slap the Qu family from the clouds down to the ground with one palm, leaving them doomed to eternal calamity.

Zhou Andong patted Gu Tao's arm and said earnestly: "Tao'er, you're still young, you don't understand some things. Moreover, you should stay away from these dark and dirty things.

Now, your task is to study hard. Mo Dong got into Harbin Institute of Technology, and you'll take the college entrance exam next year too—you also need to get into a good university, contribute to the country, and make your effort."

Hearing Zhou Andong's words, the appreciative expression was already undisguised. Gu Minglan looked at her son-in-law with an unprecedented pride in her eyes. Only Qiu Qiu, her mouth twitched once, then a faint, almost imperceptible smile appeared on her face.

"Come on, come on, no more chatting, let's drink!" Gu Yun raised his wine cup: "Dongzi, Brother toasts you a cup."

The atmosphere was once again stirred up by Gu Yun. Zhou Andong observed every member of the Gu family, and couldn't help but feel deeply moved. The Gu family's atmosphere is truly warm, with not so much pettiness between brothers and sisters.

Thinking again of the Jian family's Jian Zhengguo and Jian Yulan and Chen Quan couple, this comparison immediately made him feel the difference. Zhou Andong really is accustomed to the Gu family's atmosphere, so he also drank quite a bit more.

When he had drunk enough, he suddenly remembered assigning Gu Bing to concurrently serve as director of the Municipal State-owned Assets Office. He glanced around and discovered that Gu Bajiu actually wasn't there.

"Uncle, Gu Bing hasn't come back?"

The aunt-in-law took over the conversation and said: "That Wu——yes, Wu Huilin came, Xiao Wu went to pick her up, tonight she probably can't come back."

Upon hearing the aunt-in-law's tone of speech, Zhou Andong felt the aunt-in-law wasn't too satisfied with Gu Bing and Wu Huilin's matter, so he smiled and said.

"Aunt-in-law, Huilin is Qiu Qiu's classmate from her overseas studies. Although her family background is average, her ability is very strong. To speak frankly, without Huilin's help, the Yugong Group couldn't have developed this fast, and I wouldn't be so idle either, and could still serve as factory manager of the wool mill."

"Aunt-in-law!" At this moment Qiu Qiu spoke: "I'm saying something you might not like to hear, but I still have to say. Wu Ge marrying Huilin is what he cultivated over several lifetimes."

The aunt-in-law smiled slightly: "Alright, you two don't say anymore. Since I've already agreed to let Xiao Wu bring her home, naturally I won't oppose their matter."

Zhou Andong drank a mouthful of egg soup, then took a napkin and wiped his mouth: "There's another matter. Today I went to the city to see Jian Jianmin. He told me the city decided to let me concurrently serve as director of the Municipal State-owned Assets Commission."

"This is a good thing!" The second uncle exclaimed happily: "Dongzi, Second Uncle congratulates you."

Joy crept onto everyone's faces. Zhou Andong smiled and waved his hand: "I didn't accept it, but I recommended Wu Ge. Jian Jianmin said he would report my opinion to the secretary and mayor, but I think the problem isn't big."

Zhou Andong's words left everyone stunned. How could someone still push official positions outward? Although the wool mill factory director and the Municipal State-owned Assets Office director are both bureau-level, their authority is not the same. As long as one concurrently serves as director of the State-owned Assets Office, future promotions and transfers will be much more convenient, and it's not comparable to being a wool mill factory director.

"Dongzi, how come you didn't discuss this with us?" The uncle said resentfully: "You've lost such an important opportunity?"

Zhou Andong smiled: "Uncle, I know what you're thinking. But you should know, I'm a businessman. Serving as wool mill factory director is still acceptable, temporarily兼任 State-owned Assets Office director is no problem, but if you want to walk the official path, that's definitely not possible."

"Dongzi!" The old master spoke: "You're overthinking. Letting you serve as director of the State-owned Assets Office, since it's a decision researched and made by the city, no one dares to attack you on this matter.

Even if you later walk the official path, as long as you don't use power for personal gain, I can guarantee, no one can move you. When the day comes that you govern a province, even without us old folks guarding you, no one can easily move you."

Zhou Andong shook his head. What he said was just an excuse. Because as long as he resigns from the position of chairman of Yugong Group and hands it over to Qiu Qiu, he can do it.

"Still forget it!" Zhou Andong shook his head: "Later, who knows what the policies will be? I'd rather just honestly do my own business. When I've earned enough money, I'll retire with Qiu Qiu, wander around, travel and tour."

The old master said earnestly: "Have you thought about whether Wu Ge serving as director of the State-owned Assets Office can convince the public, and whether that chair can sit steadily?"

"Jian Jianmin also told me about this problem." Zhou Andong said very calmly: "With me guarding Wu Ge's back, no matter who, if he dares to jump around, I will definitely break his legs."

The old master sighed long and deeply: "Since your ambition isn't here, then forget it. A person, no matter in which industry, can shine and contribute to the country."

"Exactly!" Zhou Andong said: "Reform and opening-up, I do some small business, adding bricks and tiles to the motherland's finance is also good."

This family meal lasted until past seven in the evening. When he got home, it was already eight-thirty. Originally Qiu Qiu was also supposed to come back, but the old lady detained her.

Especially Su Su, the Gu family children are many, all played wildly, saying whatever they wouldn't come back. So Zhou Andong became a lone household, returning by himself.

The next morning, as Zhou Andong rushed to Jinwan Hotel to attend the symposium, Ye Zhen entered the second prison located at Dougezhuang.

After Ye Jun entered, his days were still not bad. After all, he's a Ye family descendant, the prison officials had been notified, and even as a prisoner in one cell, he had been warned.

"Ye Jun!" Just after finishing morning exercises and returning to the cell, Ye Jun was called out by a prison official: "Your family has come to see you, come with me."

Ye Jun was stunned: "My mom just came yesterday, why did she come again today?"

This guy has been in here for so long, only his mom has come to see him. Even his dad, because of identity and face, hasn't come.

The prison official smiled and said: "It's your aunt!"

"My aunt?" Ye Jun's face changed, he knows that in the Ye family, the person who dislikes him the most is his aunt, how could she suddenly come here to visit him?
